What would zephyr would look like if he appeared in the kilworth house theatre production of cats?

in Kilworth?

probably a mix between kilworth!alonzo and kilworth!cassandra!!

If he was to appear in a regular production, I think Zeph would resemble Golden Alonzo, so I'd play off of that!

He'd have a look similar to Carbucketty, with the sweater vest and shorts, but in Cassandra's coloring, just all black, and facial markings similar to Alonzo's

I was wondering which non-replica of cats was your favorite?

That's a hard one..

I would say the Kilworth House Theatre 2019 production. I love the concept as well it being unique with the time period and how that effects the characters and the the songs themselves.

#this is the wwii production where they are in a bombed-out train station #cats the musical #cats the musical fandom #Kilworth House Theatre 2019 #thanks for the ask

Top 5 Tugger Actors for the ask!

This might just be me but I feel a stronger attachment to actors I know/have seen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

5. Oliver Ormson

Oliver was in a non-replica production of CATS at the Kilworth House Theatre in London. He’s an actor I’ve been supporting for a long time now, and he has a ton of life. It’s clear he brought a whole new perspective to this role, and I wish there was more of his Tugger online. Just look at the heart on his cheek!

4. Zach Berger/Terrence Mann

This one is a tie! I never saw Terrence Mann as Tugger (because I wasn’t even alive back then), and I only saw Zach Berger for the second act of the touring show. Either way, I’m absolutely in love with both of their voices, however they are stuck at #4 because I see them better within different roles.

3. John Partridge

The legend. It would be blasphemy to not include him on this list. The only reason he’s at 3 is because I feel he plays Tugger a bit older than everyone else, and more distant from the rest of the characters, when normally I’d see Tugger as a super social character at the heart of the tribe. That doesn’t mean he’s not totally valid though!!! I love him

2. McGee Maddox

The first Tugger I ever saw. He plays Tugger exactly right, in my opinion. The first time I ever saw the show, I definitely disliked Tugger’s character at first, because the character was just... a lot, and the lyrics made him sound like a bitch. But by the end of his song and for the rest of the show, I couldn’t help but absolutely adore him. The fact that McGee made a totally unexpecting audience member (probably more than just me!) go through that cycle of thoughts means he hit the nail on the head. His Tugger is kind of like a mix between Tyler and John’s Tuggers, though. Which leads me to #1...

1. TYLER HANES

Alright, call me cliché. I don’t care; I adore his portrayal as Tugger, and he is the perfect fit for what I’d imagine for Tugger’s personality. Immature but still an adult, arrogant but fiercely loyal underneath his persona, like a rebellious younger brother looking for attention. He also had great chemistry with all of the cast and characters as well.

Cats at the Kilworth House Theatre

#Listen I love this production--I don't give a shit how bizarre it looks. XD #cats the musical #cats kilworth house theatre

[the-metaphorical-jellicle-cat]

What are some of your favourite costume designs from CATS? They can be from any production even if it's non-replica 💖💖

I’m going to go with non-replicas first since those costume designs are always really cool to look at. 

I diffidently love the designs from the Kilworth House Theatre from 2019. It takes place in a bombed-out train station and takes place during WW2. The costumes are so creative and enhance the basic character traits of the characters. They make you want to be one of them in that train station. I also love historical AUs in general so this is a huge plus in my book.

Now to general(?) costume designs.

I love the costumes from the various Shiki Cats productions. This is for the reason because the costumes have a different look than others. From the white Rum Tum Tugger costume from the Tokyo 1996 production to the Mister Mistoffelees costume that I don’t think has ever really changed. But yeah. I love the costumes from the Shiki Cats productions.

Bananaman The Musical – Matthew McKenna (Bananaman) Photo by Pamela Raith

Bananaman is flying to London to save the world! The most brainless superhero ever to grace the skies is going to make his live action debut in an all-singing, all-flying must-see new British musical.

Bananaman, the Man-of-Peel, is a unique member of the superhero ranks. Our handsome hero may have a jaw line you can see from space and sport the snazziest of tight lycra outfits, but this superhero has ‘the muscles of 20 men and the brain of 20 mussels.’ Which isn’t much.

With supervillains Doctor Gloom and General Blight attempting world domination who can we call? Superman’s on holiday, Spiderman’s not picking up – our only option, our very very last option is – Bananaman.

For the first time ever, Bananaman will be live on stage in Bananaman the Musical.

Bananaman the Musical, written and composed by Leon Parris, directed by Mark Perry, will run at Southwark Playhouse from December 15th 2017 to January 20th 2018. Press night is Thursday January 4, 2018 at 7.30pm

Bananaman began life in the Nutty comic in 1980, and was a flyaway success, transferring to The Dandy before joining the world’s longest-running comic, The Beano in 2012 and he is now one of The Beano’s flagship characters. A send-up of the likes of Superman and Batman, he was the subject of the hugely popular TV cartoon that ran between 1983 and 1986 for three series and 40 episodes on the BBC and featured the voices of Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie from The Goodies.

Fans of the the TV series will remember the iconic opening sequence, “This is 29 Acacia Road. And this is Eric Wimp. He’s a schoolboy who leads an amazing double life. For when Eric eats a banana an amazing transformation occurs. Eric is Bananaman. Ever alert for the call to action.”

[See image gallery at http://ift.tt/1FpwFUw]

  With a useless hero and some equally clueless villains, Bananaman’s winkingly clever, delightfully silly humour has been sealed into the memories of those who saw him first, and will now spark the imagination of a new bunch of Bananafans.

It won’t be long before we all ‘Peel the Power’ of Bananaman. Matthew McKenna is unmasked today as the star and “handsome hero” of Bananaman the Musical. Matthew has appeared in many major West End musicals, including The Phantom of the Opera, Sunset Boulevard, Legally Blonde the Musical, We Will Rock You, Starlight Express (as Elektra), and The Rocky Horror Show (Riff Raff) and both Singing in the Rain and 42nd Street at the Theatre Du Chatelet, Paris.

Also starring, as Bananaman’s arch nemesis Doctor Gloom, the super villain seeking world domination, will be Marc Pickering. Marc Pickering returns to Southwark Playhouse where he appeared in the European premiere of Toxic Avenger The Musical. He recently starred as Finch in the musical How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (Wiltons Music Hall), Joseph Merrick in The Elephant Man (Trafalgar Studios), Merchant of Venice (Arcola) and The Glee Club (Hull Truck).
